5.    ASK! God will give you a hunger that will not be satisfied with anything less than His best. 6.    Be Bold! Any interest you feel at any time in knowing God IS FROM HIM! Any desire to know Him is of divine origin, and therefore contains the divine guarantee of its fruition. 3 Principle Means of Learning to Hear 1. Revelation The process of hearing the voice of the Lord begins with Revelation...

4.    Rest: Be patient, confident and dependent. The timing of the process is in God’s hands. Your success in this is not judged by how well you think you are doing, how clearly you think you are hearing from Him or anything else for that matter. Anxiety is a signal you are trying to do God’s job. Your success is based on being dependent on Him to make Himself clear. To hurry God is to find fault...

3.    Develop your soulical senses. Once we experience salvation, we become a new creature, a new being that has never lived this life before. Part of that new life is that we are learning how to live using new spiritual senses, which in turn activate, or give true life to, both supernatural and natural senses. The more time we spend with God, the more our spirit is given the opportunity to bring...

1.    We can’t hear God without His help. 2.    Commit to waiting on Him, for Him and with Him. The goal of hearing is to KNOW God, not just to hear Him more clearly. Often part of our struggle to hear Him is that we have a misunderstanding of what God may say to us. He wants to speak to us because He wants to speak to us, not merely to correct us in some way. As we commit our time and attention t...

1.    Recognize that we can’t hear from God without His help. We’ve seen how He has already removed all obstacles, but He also does the enabling in us, providing the teaching, opportunity, encouragement and confirmation we need. He’s already given us ears to hear, a mind that understands and a heart to respond. 2.    Commit to waiting on Him, for Him and with Him. The goal of hearing is to KNOW Go...

How do we hear Him in our mind, will and emotions, even by our physical senses? It isn’t all that complicated; in fact, it’s simple! Not easy, because there are enemies that don’t want us to hear from God, but it is simple. Here’s a great way to start: 1.    Recognize that we can’t hear from God without His help. We’ve seen how He has already removed all obstacles, but He also does the enabling in...

Circumstances May or May Not Change It is through our circumstances that we often see the greatest evidence of where we are still under the influence of our enemies the world, the flesh and the devil. It is worth waiting on Him to be able to overcome according to His plan rather than our impatience or ignorance. Physical Changes People who habitually engage in waiting on the Lord often find many s...

Wounds Healed The more time we spend with the Lord, the more liberty He takes in bringing our soul and body into alignment with our spirit, which is already in alignment with His Spirit. Though nothing may appear to be happening on the surface during our times of waiting, the Lord is doing a deep work without our interference. He heals wounds, speaks to our mind, will and emotions, provides guidan...

Relief Learning to wait on the Lord is something we can all do, regardless of our circumstances, skills or abilities. When we realize that God is waiting for us to wait, and that waiting is something we CAN do, DOING it can take the pressure off of us as we learn to rest and let Him do the work. Instead of having to perform or achieve to get a blessing from or connection with God, we rest in the r...

We miss Him because He comes to us Un-Understood: He is Truth, and what He says and does will not necessarily line up with what we already “know.” To understand Him, we will have to relinquish our understanding. Practical Consequences of Waiting Relief Learning to wait on the Lord is something we can all do, regardless of our circumstances, skills or abilities. When we realize that God is waiting...

Part of the process of learning to wait brings us to the point of wanting to know the Lord simply because we want to know Him, not for what He does, says or how He makes us feel. Would we go where we’re not wanted? Do you want Him? How long are you willing to wait? We miss Him because He comes to us Unexpected Just as Jesus wants to be wanted, He also wants us to know His character enough to know...

Here are some of the ways we reject the Lord’s overtures without even knowing it: We miss Him because He comes to us Unwanted Jesus wants to be wanted. Though the odds are that all of us say that we want to know the Lord, we may only want to know Him on our terms. But how He comes to us is for Him to decide. He doesn’t take too well to being dictated to. As we learn to wait on Him, He begins to re...

God wants us to value Him; we do not seek what we do not value! So He withdraws His Presence, not to tease us, but to draw us after Him, and to expose our hidden attitudes toward Him. Here are some ways we reject the Lord without even knowing it: We miss Him because He comes to us Unwanted Jesus wants to be wanted. Though the odds are that all of us say that we want to know the Lord, we may only w...

What’s Happening? Our soul’s awareness is being transferred by our spirit in cooperation with God’s Spirit from what is going on in the body (and through the body, our natural circumstances) and in the soul realm (what’s taking up the attention of our mind, will and emotions). In this way, He gives His life to us and lives His life through us, often without our even knowing it (He will often bypas...

Adrift in Him As an illustration, picture yourself on an inflatable raft in the middle of a lake. There are waves all around, being whipped up by the wind, and there is nothing you can do about it. The wind is caused by external distractions, and the waves are caused by activity in your soul. But you find that as you accept the waves as they are, and let your outward and inward senses rest, over t...

Whatever happens during this time is up to the Lord! This is His training ground, and He will provide exactly what we need to accomplish His purpose for this time. Reacting to the actions of our soul only gives it control and keeps it from being free and available to the Lord. The importance of this time is not that you get something out of it or see a change or have a sense of His presence. The p...

FocusYour mind WILL wander! The odds are that for most of your life you have let your thoughts and emotions go wherever they wanted. There were of course times when they would be disciplined, but they would entail self-discipline, brought under control by your own strength of mind, will or emotions. Now we are learning to free our soul to be joined to our spirit, which is already joined to the Hol...

The act of waiting is providing the Lord with the opportunity to do His work IN you with as little interference FROM you as possible. To do this, your focus will be to let the Lord bring your mind, will and emotions into focused submission to Him. This will not be accomplished by your own efforts; you are simply making yourself available. Focus on what’s going on inside, literally, what’s going on...

Focus First, get comfortable in a quiet, undisturbed setting. If you only have a limited amount of time, be able to see a clock easily from where you are sitting. As you close your eyes, think of closing the door to outside distractions. Focus on what’s going on inside, literally, what’s going on in your body. Without strain or effort, let yourself become aware of a single rhythmic element in your...

Location. Pick a place that is comfortable yet not conducive to falling asleep. You’ll also want to make sure there are not a lot of distractions, whether visual, mental or audible. You may want to set up a particular location for this purpose; this may contribute to your ability to get into a mindset that is attentive to the Lord. Once you develop the habit of waiting, you will expand that abilit...

How to Start Decide on a specific amount of time. Set a separate time apart from study, prayer or healing. This time is dedicated to the purpose of making yourself available to the Lord for His purposes. Your focus will be on being still before Him, not hearing, learning or receiving from Him, but simply being present with Him. So distinguish this time from other times you may have set with Him fo...

How to Start Decide on a specific amount of time. We want to be occupied with living, but not pre-occupied. Set a separate time apart from study, prayer or healing. This time is dedicated to the purpose of making yourself available to the Lord for His purposes. Your focus will be on being still before Him, not hearing, learning or receiving from Him, but simply being present with Him. So distingui...

How to Start Decide on a specific amount of time. As a starting point, set as a goal to practice learning to wait 20 minutes 5 times a week and 2 hours twice a week. Set a separate time apart from study, prayer or healing. Time of day. There seems to be something particularly effective to waiting on the Lord in the mornings. Ask the Lord when the best time for you is; start with something that mak...

Who you truly are, a spirit being, is in perfect communion and communication with God. Your soul—your mind, will and emotions—is in the process of being healed of the wounds caused by believing lies. As your soul is healed, your body is also being relieved of the stress and pressure of trying to meet the needs of the soul. Your soul is now learning to get its needs met from the Eternal Life that n...
